The low point

Move 12

The engine had this as lost outright after Bxg2+. 20 moves later, sdpippins1 won.

Not everything was clean

The one slip

12.♔h1 cost 18.2 pawns. ♗b5+ would have held it.

That walks into 12...♗xg2+: the king on h1 and the rook on f1 are both attacked at once.

The point: 12...♕xb5 13.♘xb5 ♗xg2 14.♘xc7+
